What's wrong with Mk3s? They're what you're in afterall. It makes little difference what engines are in the power cars on either end.

What difference does the engine in the power car make when you are sat in a Mk3 coach behind? Surely being in a Mk3 behind a Valenta is pretty much the same as being behind a MTU?

exactly - I rarely realise until I get off and see the PC number, if at all!

I'd like to do the Glasgow-Penzance thing just to say that I've done it.
Would be hilarious to do on a Voyager. Not in a good way though.

Well, for first class I think I'd have to have a lottery win too.

So it's decided. First class HST. Glasgow to Penzance. Everyone win the lottery before December! :p ;)

I reckon it'd be a good thing to do for the social side of things though, rather than traction.
Imagine spending 12hrs with each other.

Although...I think I've beaten that on the Newquay HSTs.

if there's a meet for Newquay HSTs in 2009, I'll definately consider! However if I could, I'd do the 12-14 hour jobbie for the social side

and Brandon would as you said be tied to his seat complaining about the lack of clag from the PC he can't even see or hear whilst forgetting it's someone's birthday :p

LOL. Very good.

Anyway, if there was a Newquay HST bash, I would consider doing it, but its a really long way away :(

I live in the most pointless place ever. As far South East as I can go. Takes 2 hours to get to London!

I live 20 miles from France, takes about 90 mins. Or if I go by Eurotunnel, about an hour, including all the driving onboard and stuff.

I live about 75-80 miles from London and it takes 2 hours. Thank GOD we are getting this new High Speed program soon!
